My aren't we growing up fast?! 5 months old and doing so many things already. Owen has mastered the tri-pod sit and can even sit up completely unassisted for a few seconds to a minute but he does not fall down gracefully and can't get himself back to a seated position so I "spot" him while he sits.
He is so ready to crawl and SOOO frustrated that he can't yet. He can push up with his arms to a crawling position and he can pop his butt up but can't really do them at the same time. He can do a little bit of an inch worm crawl both backwards and forwards that can get him where he is going most times. But oh how he screeches in frustration when he is watching his brother run around and he can't do it. His most favorite position is being held up standing.
Now that we are "settled" in our house (using the term extremely loosely) Owen has developed a bit of a nap routine and has even taken a few naps in his crib, and actually his naps on his own have been longer each day. I guess its something about a cool, quiet, dark room without a T-Rex roaring at him (Scott's favorite way of waking Owen from slumber) makes for great naps. Poor guy hasn't even had a room or a bed until now.
He has also survived a nasty round of teething (? still no actual teeth) and/or his first virus. We had a helluva first week in the new house with Owen's fever reaching the high 104s and ranging from 100 on up for a week. He slept most of the day (on me) and when he wasn't sleeping he was crying and wimpering and it was just heart breaking. I took him to our ped who confirmed it was teething plus or minus a virus. So we waited it out and let the fever do its thing and now our baby boy is back to being healthy and happy!
Its so much fun to watch Owen develop his little personality. He is almost always happy and is becoming so curious.
And here is a quick comparison of Owen and Scott at 5 months...in case you weren't convinced they were brothers!!! HA!
